This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why would that ship have sailed?

Because the tools are here and not going anyway

then what's stopping you from increasing the frequency of those days until you're not using an LLM at all?

The actually useful shit LLMs can do. Their point is that using only majorly an LLM hurts you, this does not make it an invalid tool in moderation

You seem to think of an LLM only as something you can ask questions to, this is one of their worst capabilities and far from the only thing they do

I agree with this on a global scale; I was thinking about on a personal scale. In the context of the entire world, I do think the tools will be around for a long time before they ever fall out of use.

The actually useful shit LLMs can do.

I'll be the first to admit I don't know many use cases of LLMs. I don't use them, so I haven't explored what they can do. As my experience is simply my own, I'm certain there are uses of LLMs that I hadn't considered. I'm personally of the opinion that I won't gain anything out of LLMs that I can't get elsewhere; however, if a tool helps you more than any other method, then that tool could absolutely be useful.
